I got a friend of my (auto elec / air con) to have a look and he was able to source the exact same part for $200. He looked over the system and it looks like all the working parts were just standard universal fit parts (nothing landrover specific except brackets to mount it and the internal air ducts).
For explanation of the thermostat outer ring..
mine seems to be when turned to 0 at the warmest (still seems to run compressor occasionally) and runs non stop when turned fully the other way. To be honest I am not completely convinced it is a thermostat, it might just be a time turning the compressor on and off.
